Who’s here watching this interview after watching Amanda on Club Shay Shay to see how it goes down when Amanda feels comfortable and in a safe space?

[@JudgeWandaJones]

Ohhh I am!!!😂

Jason thank you so much for having Amanda Seales on the show today.This conversation was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed.❤️

[@aggravatedassociate8237]

Misinformative. Not a word, yet still more accurate than any of the nonsense this evil rave hustler is spewing.

[@xcelmateo1956]

This woman is authentic, prolific, intelligent, entertaining and always gives GREAT interviews!

[@Rrrrr000]

Really Good!❤

[@SphereOfStreaming]

and a deadbeat narcissist

[@darryls2141]

they should invite candace owens on the show to teach her a few things

[@jrgd9083]

Shes also a racist too.

[@chakeloftin2828]

​@@darryls2141 hahhh i think it would be the other way around. Candace wouldn't stand a chance

[@tdepp2311]

The fact that Amanda episode is longer than 2hrs, yes please! She was the best part of “The Real” 💯

[@timmy_thewrita]

Someone finally agreees… I stopped watching when she left

[@camara1194]

She wasn’t the nicest exactly to the co hosts, I felt on the show.

[@JacquDixon-h3u]

Agree 👍💯 Actually Ms Queen was a in lil bit to REAL for the real they weren't ready to deal with the real Ms Seales

[@laurenwithlove2281]

Jason did an exceptional job navigating this interview, knowing when to push pressure points and when not to take it further. This was such a good listen!

[@tianrichards]

I think he has an honest respect for her. But also, he met his match. He can’t outsmart her and she will also return the smoke.

[@1saxophone]

I can't thank Amanda enough for properly defining colorism. Because there are so many people that think it's bidirectional and it's not.

[@KawaiiPrncessBby]

The girls tried to eat me up on TikTok about my colorism video. There’s no such thing as reverse colorism. Like wtf

[@mayagabrielle4252]

definitely helped me understand!

[@ifoster165]

She definitely is the truth. Her break down is 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@mydknyghtrydah463]

Respectfully not true. but i guess thats why we all have minds of our own

[@picasso9887]

It is bidirectional

[@tiffanylee6475]

I loooove how much she has grown. She so charismatic and intelligent. And I respect and appreciate her concern for the community. Truly an inspection. Love her!

[@darryls2141]

they should add angela rye

[@ap3stax]

​@@darryls2141 them two on set together, will certainly cut down on confusion

[@aneriueta32]

Amanda Seales is a hard person to follow bc she IS so authentic. She brings a plethora of issues to the forefront that sometimes I’m not ready or willing to be in the space I need to be in to honor the issue and give it authentic thought. Self-love and improvement are important to me, so I do go there with her. I also don’t agree with every stance she takes, but she’s so important to me bc she helps me face issues, think more freely, understand my own thought processes better. Love what she’s bringing bc it always feels intentional and as she’s explained, high purpose behind it!

[@ritaree123]

Yes ❤Yes ❤Yes ❤

[@ARFJ1583]

This is so well said Annie!

[@lalareal180]

hahahaha gurl bye! Issa dont even F with her because of her EGO AND THINKIN SHE ENLIGHTENED!

[@keelachambers6368]

Well said . I struggle with her Also but I’m sometimes just ehhh with her .

[@lovexoxo251]

Well said. I like Amanda but she can be too much sometimes but I still like a lot of aspects about her and I think she’s important for the culture. I never like to see people completely trashing her because at the end of the day she’s blackity black, black and not afraid to stand on it when necessary.

[@thatraspyshxt]

Amanda's a real one. Always informative, always eloquent. Love her!

[@mzalthomas]

Great interview! Amanda is ALWAYS so honest and pure. Her intent always shines through. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cambury]

She lied and implied a man sexually harassed her and it never happened.

[@jamiegabriel87]

I truly look up to Amanda. It’s hard to be mischaracterized, misjudged or misunderstood but she stays intelligent, strong, beautiful, tenacious and resilient. Never change!!! When you’re a threat, truth teller or a strong, black woman, you’re always a target.

[@kholebandz-gq9lh]

Caribbean’s are very proud of our heritage and we have a strong sense of self this often makes people uncomfortable and is perceived as arrogance but it is not it’s simply fighting for who we are and not who we are told or programmed to be. Nice interview.

[@CC23411]

GOSH, can I just say how AMANDA NEVER DISSAPOINTS!! Everytime I hear her speak specifically in this type of long form she just radiates self awareness, fearlessness, love of self and her people....Consistently...How folks don't hear her compassion, sincerity and humility just blows my mind even if and when delivered with some spice!!! That's just LOVE wrapped in Sazon!! 😂😂 I just love her...PERIOD HARD STOP!!!! Thank you Jason for giving her space and time to cook!!

[@judiciarytt2115]

Educated

[@jessicastokes486]

Get these like up!! She holds down black people we need to hold her down 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@tenishaparker9261]

I just don't understand why people don't like Amanda. I rocks with her. She constantly keeps us informed and laughing.

[@montgomerycamjr]

What OTHER people think of her isn't for YOU to understand. Let's start there.

[@cjones4298]

This is a really good interview. I like how both were able to share their points of view (which were completely opposite) but kept it respectful.

[@aavalestormiconicperformer]

She seems committed to telling the truth.

[@xcelmateo1956]

Completely

[@happymood888]

She is spreading victimhood mentality and the fact that she is a victim to a spoiled black community

[@GneissTee]

I've always loved her ... she's a "moon" child like me. She's so truthful.

[@tameracoates398]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHAT?? The TRUTH??? Aw man!! The truth about WHAT??

[@chakeloftin2828]

​@@tameracoates398 about EVERYTHING, Just cause you choose not to hear it doesn't mean it ain't true. She speaks on a spiritual and observation level.

[@kaylacochran6885]

This is the interview I never thought I needed. Amanda is authentic, intelligent and entertaining! ❤

[@garystallings3077]

I love Amanda Seales. A truth teller and industry vet!

[@tameracoates398]

Nothing truthful about what she said… She’s privileged… She’s holding onto to a history that has NOTHING to do with her so that like so many others she can be a victim-It’s how she makes her money. Playing victim and race baiting… She has enough money( that she made in this TERRIBLE RACIST COUNTRY😱) to move anywhere she wants… She needs to bounce her happy privileged self over seas- And I’m a black woman so do even try the whole l don’t get it- I DO!

[@E_Babii420]

I LOVE HER! She says exactly what we're all thinking and doesn't back down when challenged! I also FULLY appreciate how blunt she is. Amazing interview!

[@1stLeidee_KUFIH]

Amanda says all that mess I think about, so thankful she has the best platforms to share the REAL NEWS. 100% love watching and she gives it to you straight, making you think and revisit yourself.

[@christinawaters3671]

[@stephjones311]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Amanda Seales gets a lot of hate but I appreciate her intelligence and directness.

[@ritaree123]

Me too ❤

[@angelbrie]

I absolutely am infatuated with how well spoken and educated Amanda. I LOVE listening to her. I love the brutal honesty and her ability to take a topic, address the issue, explain the facts vs the opinions, make it all make sense and then add a joke to lighten the honesty whipping she just slapped your ass with is pure SKILL! Now I don't always agree. But I absolutely RESPECT her PERSON! Period! Thank you so much for the interview. I learned so much! 🥹🔥

[@darryls2141]

well spoken? please don't discount black people with such an irresponsible and inappropriate remark-

​@@darryls2141 LoL....I knew this comment will be here

[@aggravatedassociate8237]

Isn't referring to a black person as "well spoken" racist? I have heard as such. Anyway, I agree, she is very eloquent. You can be "well spoken" and indoctrinated at the same time. I hope this lady either gets the help she needs or finds a county more to her liking.

[@jrgd9083]

Amanda is probably stupider than chinajoe

[@ameliaberry285]

Love the way she said “some people say I have pretty privilege” 💁🏽‍♀️ so cute, so serenity, so self knowledge ✨

[@joshlynh.3532]

I just discovered Smart, Funny, and Black about a month ago. I wathched it with my 14 year old daughter. Da Brat and Ms. TJ Madison and I loved it. The music breaks, the knowledge, and games was everything to me. I have been trying to post a tiktok to share with my people but keep getting copy writted but besides that, I love Amanda Seales. She's always been real to me from jump. She's one person besides Jason that I put on my list to manifest conversations with. These two people minds and spirits are amazing to me. Im here for all the shenanagins with Jason Lee and Amanda Seales

[@kristenbarr6789]

I have loved and supported Amanda Seales from Day 1! I love her authenticity and courage to call out BS, and consistently ride for the culture.

[@justdc3517]

Jason you have improved so much. I can tell you have listened to your audience and have taken in the feedback even the criticism. This interview with Amanda was AMAZING!!! Good job!!! I also love Amanda even more than I already did. Keep being a boss and keep evolving Jason. Your growth is inspiring!!!

[@lovexoxo251]

Yea that’s true he’s gotten better

[@TONY-bo3mp]

Gotta love Amanda and her perspective and intellect. The culture needs you. Keep trailblazing black woman! ❤

[@yourdigitalbestie8376]

I absolutely adore Amanda, I feel like she only gets slack from people who listen to respond and not comprehend. Jason your growth is amazing, I hope you two work together more in the future! Also I can't wait until Amandas show is available in NYC

[@user-wk8fc3cn1q]

Great interview. Amanda Seals is so underrated. She’s a gifted and eloquent orator and has just intellectual points of view. Impressed by her always! Great interview and glad she’s paving her lane independently and authentically. Definitely should keep her in the rotation.

[@MrsBrittanyGold]

I just Love Amanda. Her intelligence is refreshing 💕

[@Iamwandalee]

This was a very good interview! Amanda is telling the truth, standing 10 toes down in the truth, & is unapologetic for it! I LOVE HER & support her! Wishing her continued success in any & everything she does 🙏🏽

[@loriwaddles306]

“People think that if you benefit from any kind of privilege, then you shouldn’t have anything to say.” WOW. She spit a WORD right there. She just cleared up A LOT. Been struggling with tryna figure that out for what seems like a lifetime. Love Amanda…🤔😘 and this was just about the most REALIST interview I’ve seen in a minute for SOOO many reasons…

[@cortlynnclark5570]

[@graceh2879]

Jason learns a Lot from Amanda! As do I! She’s brilliant, funny, and Black🎉🎉❤❤

[@nowlaterkiss9811]

I agree with Amanda wholeheartedly. We need to pay attention to mid-term elections, and local elections in your state! Period. They are making decisions that could affect us terribly in the long run. And THEY like it when we say voting doesn't matter. That fits their agenda. And definitely that electoral college has to go. LOVE YOU AMANDA!

[@lakeofalltrades]

Amanda is a strong powerful person who rest in her purpose very well 🥰

[@JustUdoro]

As we humans all are…Amanda is a multi-layered human being who has shared parts of herself with us, the masses on platforms on which she has never changed her rhetoric. Jason Lee, thank you. Thank you for this interview…she has got to come back again!! Let me head on and find her channel…🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

[@dakotac180]

I've always liked her stand up. It's good y'all are giving her, her flowers.

This might be one of the best interviews I’ve watched!! The growth is undeniable

[@manueldavidson1398]

I love listening to Amanda because she knows of what she speaks. She's very intelligent, articulate, well informed and so knowledgeable. The sister is very real and down to earth.

[@CourtneyJWeary]

This interview really gave me a chance to see and hear Amanda and I love that and her . Jason navigated this really well and asked perfect questions . Also I can really appreciate, especially as a black woman, the acknowledgment and stances against the injustices in society for us. As a woman from Jackson, MS i can whole heartedly agree on the separate judicial system they have now created which no one sees as a problem except the people of Jackson .

[@dynastyeffect-latoyastyle5627]

I know this conversation is about to be REAL & INFORMATIVE!

[@SocialDrones]

This was such a raw and real interview. Thank you Amanda, good job Jason.

This is one of my favorite interviews besides Laverne Cox and KeKe Palmer! Amanda Seales you never cease to amaze me with your level of intellect and emotional intelligence. 💛💛💛

[@naturalbeauty637]

I totally get Amanda and her connection to her roots. The doll example about her mom was the reason I always bought my daughter black dolls. I bought every shade too and threw away any white dolls gifted to her.

[@roots4140]

Good mama.

[@93morganmarie]

I love Amanda but tell me why this took me like 3 days to watch LOL & I kept coming back. This made me see a whole different side of Jason. I'm not very familiar with him but have been watching the episodes and one thing I know for sure, to be able to keep up banter with THE Amanda Seales you have to be highly intelligent and abreast of what is going on in the world!

Jason Lee is so methodical with his questions. I absolutely love him.

[@QueersandSteers]

Thank you Amanda for introducing me to my future husband, the host, and thank you Jason for bringing my Cancer cousin on to discuss such a wide array of topics to perfection. You’re both hella inspiring and 100% goals 🙏🏽

[@QueersandSteers]

ALSO we should dive back into Jason’s discussion about gay black representation in tv. Amanda was unpacking something there and I don’t think it’s finished 👀

[@JustMe-wq4ue]

AMANDA HAS GROWN‼️‼️ 😊 SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN SMART‼️GOD BLESS HER‼️🙏🏿👍🏾💝

[@pittmanboys]

I really enjoyed this interview. I haven't always been her biggest fan but this interview allowed me to see her in another light. I absolutely love the grace she shows and how she chooses not to speak about certain people. I really misjudged her. Love her impersonation of her mom.

[@keishasjourney5885]

I never took the time to get to know Amanda Seales, outside of her social media. And TBH, I didn’t like her because she came off so aggressive. After watching this interview, I genuinely like her! I had the ability to get to know her more, see a softer side and hear her true brilliance! Thanks, Jason great INTERVIEW!!!
